Specifically, you'll want to collect and analyze a LOT of comp sales data (including data pertaining to days on market, price reductions, the buyer pool, etc.) so that you have a very good understanding of the buyer pool, and how difficult it could be to sell this type of property...I'd suggest talking with multiple agents who have experience with this type of property, and asking them what type of DOM, ARV, and sale experience they would predict for the property.Before you take on $25k+ of credit card debt for a rehab, you'll want to consider all the potential problems you might face with your strategy, and potential solutions to those problems.

If your broker/agent is doing a good job then you should at least have some prospects.

Ask agents, investors, vendors etc..This will take more than a few weeks.

Triple that for Agents lol.

Is this something I would be asking the real estate agent or maybe just calling up myself and asking?

I'm a fan of Erie for P&C but more important than carrier selection please find an agent that can represent you and build a relationship with them.  

@Lance Johnson - Do you have an agent in each area?  

Not as many complexities with a few rentals, but there can still be significant issues depending on entity structure - even if they are all "disregarded" entities for federal tax purposes.If your W-2 is your full time gig, and they are all passive long term rentals, there very well could be likely not a lot of active planning to do on the real estate side, outside of getting some general knowledge out there, having some longer term plans, and ensure deductions are being maximized in the isolation of those 5 rentals.
